Heart of Lightness
Arnholm
9 British actors arrive in the far north of Norway to act the Ibsen play "Lady From The Sea". They have never been in Norway before and have no idea that the sun won't set for the next month.
Good Vibrations
Dave Hyndman
En las malas calles del Belfast de los 70, nada hacía más falta que buenas vibraciones. Good Vibrations (por los Beach Boys) se llamó la tienda que Terri Hooley abrió inspirado por el espíritu de Hank Williams. La leyenda se fragua el día en el que Terri descubre el punk y pierde los papeles por ello. Hipotecando su casa y abandonando a su mujer encinta para grabar discos, nunca hubo un perdedor más épico que él: capaz de producir la mejor canción de la historia según John Peel (Teenage Kicks de los Undertones) y no ver un duro, de aupar y a la vez hundir la carrera de Rudi y de The Outcasts y de abarrotar el Ulster Hall para terminar en bancarrota. Entre los bombardeos y tiroteos, los odios religiosos y el ajuste de viejas cuentas, el punk le dio a todos una oportunidad de VIVIR durante un momento glorioso y ardiente.
Lennon Naked
Derek Taylor
A profile of John Lennon in the late 1960s as the Beatles are set to fall apart.
Occupation
Davis

Soundproof
Connor
About the relationship between Dean, a young deaf man who is accused of murdering his flatmate, and Penny, the sign language interpreter assigned to his case.
The Year London Blew Up
Joseph O'Connell
Told through documentary, drama and first-hand accounts, this revealing film is a unique account of the most ruthless IRA bombing campaign ever to hit mainland Britain.
Song of Songs
Journalist Voice
Devoutly religious Ruth returns from Israel to care for her dying mother, but when she tries to bring her estranged brother David back into the fold, in accordance with her mother's wishes, the result is a startling journey into the darkest realms of sexual obsession: a forbidden game under the guise of religious law. Dark, ambiguous and distinctly adult, this study of belief and desire, set in the cloistered world of London's Orthodox Jewish community, thoughtfully explores the links between faith and violence, denial and longing.
Sinners
Eamonn
A Catholic girl finds herself in trouble in the ultra conservative Ireland of the 60s; a country where women are punished if they become pregnant out of wedlock.
Sunday
Gerard Donaghy
Sunday tells the story of an infamous day in Derry, North of Ireland and how the events of that day were subsequently covered up by the British Government of the time. On Sunday 30th January 1972 a peaceful civil rights march against internment (imprisonment without trial), organised by the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA) ended with 13 marchers shot dead and 15 wounded. It became known throughout the world as Bloody Sunday. Told primarily from the perspective of the Derry community, juxtaposed with the British Army/state's preparations and reaction to the day, Sunday communicates the forensic and emotional truth of what happened
This Is Not a Love Song
Spike
Heaton and Spike are the unlikeliest pair: two loners who have found each other. When Spike commits a terrible crime, Heaton decides to stand by him - an act of astonishing, almost foolhardy loyalty. There begins a chase across a vast Northern landscape of moors, rivers and dark woods, the increasingly exhausted fugitives being hunted not by the police but by a posse of farmers intent on revenge. No ordinary chase film, This Is Not a Love Song is a love story trapped inside the body of a thriller.
